They led the Democrats before the war, And they want to do it again: God help the North with oflces filled By Davis, and ting-art of meal , Youcsn’t win the game without the South, You know very well you can’t ' And must count the cost of southern votes To help you in beating Grant.

And now it sounds mighty suspicious To hear these fellows rant, Cali him Honest Uncle Horace. And all that sort of cant. Why, it ain’t hard to remember How Greeley used to blow, And call them thieves and traitors, Not a dozen years ago.

' When I was inclined ' to embark in this move I was under the impression that I was at liberty to do so as a Republican: but we have been. drawn on, step by step, until .we find ourselves not only out of the Repub- lica'n, but about to enter the Democratic party as recruits. The last is a step which I cannot take. ‘ I may, by lending counte- nance to the liberal move, have compro- mised myself ‘10 such extent as,io forfeit the privilege of voting, but I do not think that I have gone so far as to give the Democratic party a just claim to my undividéd vote and political assistance. " I am not a Democrat. nor have Ibsen a memberpf that party. 0n the contrary, I have been a Republican and have constant. of the last six months clearly indicate to my mind, that there is more liberalin in the Republican party than there has been devel- oped by the move that has been called tihc liberal move. I cannot, therefore, find a reason, in logic or in sentiment, for passing the line between the Democratic party and myself. As previously stated, I may be so compromised as to have forfeited my privi- lege of voting the entire Republican ticket, but I must not go so far as to forbid my re- turn to the party when the . present canvas is closed. I must ask you, therefore, to withdraw my name from your committee, begging at the same time to _renew my as- surances of kind personal regard for our former colleagues, I remain, sir, very re- spectfully, your most obedient servant, Jams Loses-runs. ———-.‘-s.o+——-—.

To be Let—Furnished. ‘Anyihing over to-day? asked with a significant and ironical emphasis, a young and bricfiess lawyer, named Kit Hammer- ton, of another equally young and brieflcss limb Bill Bellenden, as he sauntercd into the latter's room in Court street, which room hada very professional air-a rusty grate fillcd with scraps of paper and cigar ends, a table littered with law books, sheets of foolscap, floor ditto" leather bottomed arm-chairs, very crazy and tracclent look- ing, window panes that looked like thick cobwebs—all as it should be, minus a client' “Anything over i’ be repeated. “Over head and ears in love and debt,’ answered Bellenden, ‘ihai’s all.

My creditors were pressing. I had to compound with them for the credit of the bar. ” “And I think you told me that, not daring to confide the state of your affairs to your father, you had taken ,up ‘your lodg- ings on the sofa here, anddined at a cheap eating-house.” “Exactly so, Kit." “Umph, a pleasant way of passing the next three monihs,"ccrtainly.” “I shall live like a nabob~ for thef next three months, and have a little cash to boot,” said Bellenden,triumpbantly. ' “As how i” , “You know just now everybody is moving out of town.” “Yes, and you're obliged, thanks to your want of forethought and extravagance to swelter here during the hot months.” “Listen, will you i” cried Bellenden. “Hear whatI have written.” And taking up a sheet of foolscap he read as follows: “Tobe let—Furnished. A genteel coun-, try residence, four miles from State street, with fourteen rooms, furnished in modern style, stable, granary an urge garden stock- ed with the choicest kiuds of fruits near a railroad and omnibus station. Part of the rent will be taken out in board by the ad- vcrtiscr. Terms made known on applica- tion to W. B—, No. building, Court street. ' “Zounds i” cried Kit, his eyes starting out of his head. “You aren’t going to let your own father's house?" “That was my plan,” replied Bellenden, coolly. “Why should the house remain empty for a whole quarter ?” “But the new furniture will be spoiled.” “I shall only let it to a respectable tenant.” Kit remonstrated, but in vain. Bellenden assured him that stem necessity compelled him to act, and begged to inform him that his resolution was so unalterably fixed that no power on earth could shake it. That evening the advertisement was put in the fianscript. The next morning a modest tap at Bellendcn’s office door produced an invitation to enter, and a highly respectable gentleman availed himself of the permission . “To was dressed in black, with a white neck; 'clolh, wore a heavy gold chain, and square, old-fashioned watch-key, and polished shoes and white stockings, and carried a buff cane with an ivorv head, the very beau ideal of an old Boston merchant. “I called air, in consequence 0f your ad- vertisement in the Transcript last evening.” “Pray be sealed. You have an idea Of moving out of town.” “Yes for three months only. I will drive out this afternoon and see your house, and ifI like it, and the terms are not to high, I think we can manage to make an agree- ment.” . “What family have you sir? asked Bel- lenden, with the air of a practical landlord. “Only my wife, daughter and self,” repli- ed the old gentleman. “And you have no objection to taking me to board ?” I’m not much trouble in a house,” said Bellenden. “None whatever. Pray what are your terms ‘2” “One hundred and fifty dollars for the season—that is three months. I will allow you five dollars a week for my board—that takes off sixty.” “Balance ninety,” replied the old gentle- man, rising. “Very well, air; if I like the house I will call io-morrow and pay you in advance.” - “As you please, sir}: “My name,” said the old gentleman as he took leave, “is Greyling—Godfrey Greyling d7 00., India wharf. Good morning sir.” “Greyling ! One daughter i" cried Bel' lenden, as he paced -his room. What if he should be the father of the glorious creature I met atleoucesier, last summer ?” The idea of being under the same roof with her almost drives me mad, and atoncs for much that I have suffered and am still suffering— Greylingi Greyling!” . His conjectures were correct. Greyliug called next day. paid the rent, and received the key, and the evening after he went to the villa, he discovered that Julia Greyling was no other than a very charming girl whomhe had casually encountered at Cape Ann the previous season. She was then visiting the place with her aunt, and whether ‘she was conscious of a nascent penchant for our b'ero, or for some other reason, she had forbornc mentioning to her mother having meta young gentleman at seaside, with such a dear corsair expression. and such a sweet moustache l’ Of course Bellenden did not come into town any more. Why should he? He had no client there—and a suit here which must not he suffered to go by default. What duels at the piano! what strolls in the garden! what walks by moonlight, what rides at sunset! It was a fairy exis- tence. But in the sweetest cup of pleasure —mrgitamaria alaquid—and coiling at the bottom of his beaker of bliss, lay a serpent, the thought that all this fairy scene would soon vanish like a summer day dream. With the birds and flowers the Greylings would be gone—he had three months of err enjoyment before him. Three months! he had not twenty-four hours. The next morning Bellenden was stroll- ing in the garden, waiting for Miss Greyling , tojoin him, when the omnibus stOpped at the door, and out of the omnibus—a vision ofdread—alighted Mr. Bellenden, senior. “You here, sirl’ exclaimed the young man. “You here, sir?’ exclaimed the father. “How came you to think of opening the house? Did you get word that I was com- ing?’ . "No air, but I thought you wouldn’t dis- like it.’ . “Not at all. You saved me a deal of trouble. Servants here i” “Yes sir.” “Well, well,-let’s get out of the sun,” re} ' plied Mr. Bellenden, impatiently. “One moment sir. I have some friends staying with me now—very respectable peo- ple, I assure you sir—the Greylings—do you know them?” he added anxiously. “N 0, but I’ve heard the name.” “I’ve kept you waiting,” cried Miss Grey- ling, running down the steps of the piazza in a charming walking dress, “but I am quite ready now.” She stopped suddenly and blushed on per- ceiving a stranger. “My father, Miss Greyling." . “I am happy to see you sir. Won’t you walk in ?” “Hospitable,” muttered Bellenden,“see- ing that it’s my house.” “Miss Greyling,” said young Bellenden. nervously, “I am sorry that I must deny my- self the pleasurcpf walking with you, but my father—l pray excuse me.” “Oh, certainly, certainly! Don't make any apologies. I couldn’t think of ' going now. Pray walk in sir. You’ll dine with us, I hope sir.” “I rather think I shall, young lady,” an- swered Bellenden, senior, coolly. “You’re ddsly and tired, father,” said young Bellenden, who dreaded a discovery. “Won’t you walk up into my room l” _ “No, sir,” replied Bellenden, senior, per- cmptorily. “I want to see how the drawing room looks. With what taste your poor mother, had she been alive, would have fur- nished it.” 7 And -tossing his) hat on the table, he walked into the drawing room followed by his son and Miss Greyling. “My father and mother, Mr. Bellenden,” said the young lady, getting before him and performing the ceremony of introduction. Mr. Greyling had fallen asleep uncon- sciously on the ottoman, and sank' from a sitting to a. recumbent position. He started up, rubbing his eyes. "‘Blcss me, what a solecisml I’m afraid I was vulgar enough to doze, Mr. Bellenden, I’m very happy to see you. My wife. Pray sit down, sir.” “Thank you, sir, I prefer walking about," replied Mr. Bellenden, senior. “Curse his impudence, he.multered to his son ; “sleep- ing with his boots on my cut-velvet otto- man ; asking me to be sealed in my house.” “He’s rather eccentric,” whispered young Bellenden, “but most amiable of men." “My father,” he' said, in a low tone, ad- dressing Greyling,” is odd; very peculiar— but you musn’t mind him.” “You will dine with us on famillc,” said Mrs. Greyling—a very amiable and polished old lady, by the way. “I intend to,” madam, certainly,” replied Bellenden, senior, who was sthilling about the room, examining the furniture, and oc- casioually changing the place of a chair, a card table, or a vase. “Traveling makes one hungry, and as the country probably produces thc‘same effect on you, I shall make no apOIOgy in ordering dinner." And he rang the bell. A smart man-servant answered it. “Dinner directly, Sam,” said Mr. Bellen- den, senior. “James, sir,” replied the man with dignity, and looking with an inquiring air to Mr. 'Greyling. “Serve the dinner if it is ready, James,” said Mr. Greyling, smothering his indigna- tion. “Confound his impudeuce i” said he to himself. “Does he presume to give orders to my servants ?” ' “Hang his insolence i" whispered Mr. Bellenden, senior, offering his arm to Mrs. Greyling. Young Bellenden sailed in with Julia, and Mr. Greylingbrought up the rear. Mr. Bellenden, senior-,handed the old lady to her place with great gallantry, and seated hiniself opposite to her to‘ the astonishment, indignation .and disgust of old Greyling, who would have broken out in remonslrance if his daughter had not restrained him. Young Bellenden clutched his napkin in agony. Mr. Bellenden, senior, did the honors of the table with easy nonchalance, but all the other members of the family labored under a singular restraint, and the ladies sought the first opportunity of retiring. “Now, J ames," said Mr. Bell endcn, senior, “the champagne l" ‘ “Really, Mr. Bellenden," stammcred Grey- ling, but the words fairly choked him ; he leaned back in his chair and unloosened his cravat. The poor man looked quite apoplectic- _ . ' J amcs handed Mr. Bellenden a bottle, the wire was cut, the cork bounced out per- versely, and smote Mr. Greyling on his rather prominent Roman nose. “A random shot. I beg a. thousand par- dons,” said Mr. Bellendeu,bowing. And he passed a foaming :beaker to the irritated merchant. “I don’t drink champagne,” said Grayling testily. James, gives me some claret.” “That’s right, Mr. Greyling, call for what. you like,” said Bellenden. “Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see people make themselves at home.” “I should think so, sir,” replied Mr. Grey- ling, dryly, as he sipped his wine in angry gulps. “The collar is pretty well stocked, eh, William ‘2” pursued Mr. Bellenden, address- ing his son. “And I beg, Mr. Greyling, you will name your favorites. What do you say to Burgundy ? ‘ > “If you desire Burgundy, Mr. Bellenden.” “Of course I do," replied Mr. Bellenden. “Bottle of Burgundy, J nmes." “You must excuse me, Mr. Bellenden,” said Grcyling, rising. “I would prefer to join the ladies." . “Do not place any restraint on yourself. Consider yourself perfectly at home while you are here.” “I do so consider myself, I assurc you,” answered Mr. Greyling, rising, “and shall do so, while 'I remain, which will be until next September,” and he slammed the door behind him in a. pet. Mr. James followed the example of his master. “What under the sun,William,” cried Bel- lenden, when they were alone, “could have induced you to invite such a vulgar, ill-bred set here ‘1’ Talk of staying till September, too i" 4 “My dear sir,” slammered young Bellen- den, “he is a“ client, and promises me a large business.” “And makes up for paying fees by quar- lcring himself and family here for months. The old fellow‘s impudeuce beats everything I ever heard of." “He is certainly very eccentric,” said young Bellenden. “But if youknew him as I do, sir, you’d excuse his peculiarities.” “Doubtcd,” said Bellenden, senior. “But let us join the ladies. The daughter is pretty and attractive, though not, I am constrained to say, over-well bred.” The evening passed off well, the tasteful performance of Miss Greyliug on the piano soothed the troubled spirits of her auditors. But when the hour of retiring arrived, the unpleasant feelings of the seniors were re- vived. : , “I trust you will pass the night with us,” said Mr. Greyling, civilly. “Why, where else should I pass it I” “Very well, sir,” said Greyling, “when you are ready, I will light you to your room ——the blue chamber.” ' “I am very much obliged to you, sir," re- turned Belleuden, politely ; “but if it’s all the some to you, I prefer selecting my own sleeping apartment.” “Sir, I wish you a very good night,” said Greyling, taking up a lamp and sweeping out of the room, followed by his wife and daughter. ' VOLUME Wee-NUMBER 4'4. "Extraordinary!" exclaimed :Bellcnden. “Hang me if I ever saw, read or heard of such immeasured impudcnce l” The next morning Mr. Bellenden, scniOr, was up bctimcs and walking in his garden. He was soon joined by Mr. Greyling, who appeared to have passed a very feverish night. The two gentlemen. saluted each other. - “I hope you have passcd a good night, sir,” said Mr. Bellenden. “I didn’t sleep a wink.” “Indeed. I am very much distressed to learn it.” “Mr. Bellenden, sir, it is very evident that, although your son and I agree very well together, you and I cannot exist under the same roof." “Indeed! And I presume that you are about to suggest the expediency of my tak- ing up my quarters elsewhere.

He made a full confession of the trick he had perpetrated, and then stood culprit-like, trembling and covered with confusion. The two old gentlemen eyed .each other for a‘ moment, then burst into a hearty fit of laughter, and shook hands cordially. The young scrapegrace who had occasioned all the trouble was pardoned, and his father agreed to discharge his debts on his pledge of making a good husband to Julia Greyling. The young couple took up their abode in the Bellenden villa, prefering its luxuries and comforts to the chance of advertising fer lodging to be let—furnished. -—-——.—d. Falsehood. Exposed. Wasnmorox, Oct. 22,—United States Treasurer Spinner, in response to a letter from Hon. 0. L. Merriman, of New York, yesterday, clearly answered the wholesale charges of the Democrats and Liberals, that vast amounts of money have been stolen f.m the treasury during Gen. Grant’s od- minislration and also the charge that in the past year alone three millions in coupons have been paid on over-issue bonds. He demonstrates that both charges are whole- sale falsehoods. In one paragraph Of his letter Mr. Spinner says :F“The public debt has not been'incrccd one cent since Gene- ral Grant assumed the administration of the Government. Hundreds of millions of Gov-I ernment bonds have, been paid and can- celled, but not one single bond has ever been added, except in exchange for another of like amount. The bonds could therefore not have been increased during his term of, office.” V Mr. Spinner then refers to the fact that the treasury was subjected to two inveslivaiions last winter, one of which was by a. com- mitice of experts, of which Geo. W. Riggs, the banker,.and. another by}, committee of Congress, and that in.both cases everything was reported right. Mr. Spinner thinks, in conclusion, that it is almost useless to disprove these false- hoods,for as soon— as one he is nailed, the Democrats andLiberals;wilh a rich inven- tive genius, concoct another. 0 THE TWO MEN -CONTRASTED.—-We copy the following from Old and New for Sept- ember. It is evidently from the pen of the editor, Reverend Edward E. Hale, and it is written in a candid style that will arrest the attention of thinking men: To consider which of the two candidates has thus far proved to possess in greatest measure the requisite qualifications for the Presidency, it is therefore one of thezncarest and plainest duties :of the voter. 'One of two men, Mr. Greeley and PresidenfiGrant’ which is he whose life thus far has shown most strength, most wisdom, most ex; perience of the sort that promises firm, safe, and steady guidance of our national affairs for four years to come ? _ General Grant has been a soldier in two wars, andlias many times been under fire. Mr. Greeley was one day pounded, at two separate encounters, with a slick or fist, by 'Mr. Albert Rust, of Arkansas; on which occasion, we may, however, very well, believe, he would :have done something if he had known how. During the riots of July, 1863, In New York, Mr. Greeley kept; most Of the timc:about his business, as as great many other people did. . The solid and enduring texture of General Grant’s moral courage has withstood one of the hardest tests possible,—lo remain silent and cool, minding his business, in .the per- formance of his duty, as the soldier’s simple and manly phrase describes it, 'for months and for years, in- the midst of incessant and shameful accusations; possessing the means of thoroughly disproving them, and not using those means. The same sort of im- pregnable resolution has been proved, again, in the quiet, straightforward way in which he has done his duty about civil service reform. Convincing himself that the reform ought to be made. Gen. Grant set it in operation in good faith to the best ofghis ability, without giving any signs of know- ing what he must have known,~—-tbat even his friends would award him little euoughof credit, and would, many of them, hinder him as much as they could; and that his enemies would attribute what- ever there should be of failure to the Pres- ident’s own bad faith. Never was a more barren, thankless, ill-favored task undertak- en ; never was an attempt made whose very making was in itself so absolute a demon- stration not merely of rectitude in opinion and preference, but of moral courage in ac- tion. Silence under attacks has not been Mr. Greeley’s habit. Hispraclice has been at an early day to print replies, oflcn signed with his initials and vituperating his assail- ants. This weakness and irritability, in: dced, has long been a standing jest among newspaper men. As for pursuing a right policy under dis- gouragemcuis, the only prediction for Mr. Greeley’s future which can be based upon a view of his past career is that he wil go wrong in every emergency; that the certain- ty of his going wrong will be greater as' the emergency is greater; and that he will do so exactly at the moment when the most harm will follow. In proof need Only be récalled to mind, for the present, the begin- ning, the middle, and the end of the rebel- lion When it was threatened, Mr. Greeley said that the acceding States ought to be let go; and this just at thefime when a vigor- ous assertion of the permanency of lhe Union would have done most good. In the middle of the war, while Lee was in Penn- sylvania, Mr. Greeley advised making terms, if certain specified losses should he suffered. Now, to advise surrender when it has be- come necessary may be the calmcst and bravest wisdom; but to speculate on it and get ready for it,hefore thereis any necessity, is the sort of activily‘whichui commander in the field answers with a pistol ball ihrough'the adviser’s head; and justly, for it is the surest way-to cause a surrender. Towards the end of‘ the War, thD the re- bellion already full the piem'ofiitidfis'lilf col- lapse, Mr. Greeley wanted toliilciéfillléi 93‘ aelly at the moment when Dentist—1‘05"” the only possible means by whichllléSblll-h could expect to obtain any psrt‘wmfir- of its unjust demands, or to save any pa" whatever of the wrongful laws and custom. for whose sake it began the war. How many such fatal coincidences srcneedcd to establish the fatal habit? How often must a public man surrender all of the, public weal that he can surrender, in order to prove that he should be trusted with the whole leadership of it. Republieuls Returning to the Camp. We find the following letter from Prat-A. B. Abbott, a distinguished lawyer, in the Glen’s Falls Messenger. It is worth reading: Editor Mesaengm—As a Liberal Republi- can I have supported Greeley in order to ad- ' vance Republicanism. I have looked upon Greeley and the Cincinnati platform as can bodiments of the purest kind of republican- ism—Greeley by his record and the plat- form by its promises and professions. En- ,deavoring to place principle above men I was willing to aid in changing the man Grant for the man Greeley as the More ex- ecutive head of the nation, provided thereby Republican principles might be better pro- mulgated and more purely administered. The man for whom we vote is but a trifle, a mere bngatelle in the game; but behind thc‘se men are the great truths and princi- ples which are to be made characteristic of the American nation for the next four years. “Times change and men oflen change with them, but principles never l" Peace, purity, reconciliation and constitu- tional integrity should mean something more substantial than mere party slogans. There must be something back of the cry “Reform” to secure the confidence of the people. There must be a record and such s record as the people have endorsed. I- believe the great - body of Democrats have always been honest in purpose undoin- ceré ; but sincerity is 'no remedy for erro- neous belief. Onezby one they have been compelled to abandon their penicious'doc- triues until 10-day, when’lhey astonish the world by a. complete somersa'ult in plat- forms and‘professions. ' Deihocrats will use Liberals only as allies to obtain control of the administration, and in the future, Liberal Republicans will be as surely metamorphosed into Democrats;ss to-dayAhe Democrats outnumber’theni one hundred to one. .Did I believe I could preserve my identity asa Republican and still ally myself with Democrats to purify and correct any any posed abuses of government. I should promptly throw my feeble inns-ea ’way that party; but from a little experience in that direction I detect already the down- ward current of the maelstrom which lcids inevitably to the dark and dangerous vortex ofDemocratic errors and delusions. I am convinced that the Government is much more likely to be purified by reform among Republicans than by the accession to power of Democrats. I therefore prefer to work for reform, if needed in my own party. “But,” say my Democratic friends, “Have we not heard you advocating reform 1" Yes, and I. still advocate the same. “And did you not favor Greele'y’s election i" Yes, for 1 had such confidence in Sumner, and Gree- lgy, Chase, Pierrepont and other founders of party as to hope their Republicanism would leaven the whole lump of Democracy, each proving a “John the Baptisl" Mug Sinners. “Have you changed your opinidn f" Yes. “Why ?” Because actual contact and con- versation with honest and sincere Denic- crats, the voice of their leaders, and nomi- hted mongrel Slate tickets all convince me that Greeleyism is not only “boiled crow" to Democrats but that it even affects them ad nauseam; so that, instead of Liberals giving tone to the Democracy, the Demo- cratic party will absorb them, head and heart, as completely as a river’s current sweeps with it the rubbish of the shore: ‘ Already Liberals are called “New-school Democrats.” Greeley, if elected, would be the figure-head, not of Liberal Republican- ism, but of Democracy, .-“Have the October elections afi‘ecled you i” As to the'prluciple, no ; as to men, yes. They prove that Grec- 1e v’s Republicanism is nothing but revamp. ed Democracy, and . poor quality at that. Never, by word or deed, have I'intentiou- ally advocated Democratic principles. ‘ For men, Democratic through honest belief and conviction, I have great respect; but fi'om men, cuddling together for self-aggrandize- ment,.f0r oflice or emolument, from “that crowd” I wish to be withdrawn. "Are you not unwilling-rte appear as s turncoat i” No; when I;advocaied Gree— leyism that was turning my Republican coat wrong side out, rags and lining—so turned it neither fits nor will it went well. 'I now propose to turn the coat back again as itfits and as it was made. . “Onlyfools and dead men never change their opinions.“ “Why did you not come to this conclusion before ?" Because of my love of party founders and party heroes. What wonder that, with others, I should follow, at least as far as the picket linc,.such bright lights of the Republican party as Sumner, Greeley, Trumbull, Schultz and Chase, when they went over to the enemy f These men worked as no others did or could ~ for the triumph of Republican principles, and they deserved a body guard at local a short distance in their new departure, as a reward for past services. But we cannot go any further. They would lead us into a party which_we believe to be wrong in its instincts, wrong in its history and wrong in its aspi- rations, however much we respect the 'hon- esty of their convictions. We must bid our former heroes farewell. with regret,and con- linue to work all the harder in the ranks of the cherished and time-honored Republican party—the party of our birth and our educa- tion—whose principles we love and whose triumph we predict.
